Behind Bangladesh's garment boom, workers cut food, healthcare as wages fall short
Garment workers in Bangladesh say low wages and rising living costs are forcing them to cut back on food and healthcare, while workers have demanded a monthly minimum wage of 30,000 taka. Protests and clashes with police led to hundreds of factory closures, and the government has agreed to implement a revised wage structure from December but has not yet set the increase.
